Selection of 7 Corgi Photographs and 2 Corgi Dinner Menus, one with Marcel Van Cleemput printed. More 'One of a Kind' ephemera from the office of Marcel Van Cleemput, courtesy of The MBU Collection.
Notes
Discovered in the office of Marcel Van Cleemput the chief designer for Corgi, this is one of many ephemera items given to the MBU Collector as a thank you for his help with ‘The Great Book of Corgi’.
A charming selection of period black and white photographs from various dinners/presentations and of The Mettoy Stand at a period Toy Fair. Fascinating to study closely!
Key figures such as Marcel Van Cleemput, Howard Fairbairn & Nigel Loveland pictured.
Mettoy 40th Anniversary Dinner Menu has Marcel Van Cleemput’s name printed top left.
The other menu has some amusing courses e.g. Corgi Carrots, Pommes Juniors and Boeuf Mettoy!
